I recently picked up some(7) Psuedotropheus salousi juvies. they are all very pretty, and healthy (except for some potential ammonia burn, but that'll get sorted out in due time) one male even has his black stripes! they are all at the point where they are all yellow. I'm very proud of them :1luvu: But there is one really, really little one, who is about 1/3 inch (if not smaller). He looks like he could still be in his mom's mouth.

I named him Greg.

I really should have brought it up at the LFS, so it really is my fault... I just didn't see him (the bag was there before I came)
The other salousi are all about 1" to 1" 1/4, and are with 1-2 inch rustys.
What should I do with him?
My 20g is overstocked with the spotted pleco and angel, but no algae is really growing in my 75g, and my 20 gal is a south American tank (so I can't put him there, even though socrates is a peaceful, welcoming fellow).
BTW, is there any way to tell gender in pseudotropheus spp. before color change?
